[PATCH 4.4 039/192] [PATCH 040/135] Drivers: hv: vmbus: serialize process_chn_event() and vmbus_close_internal()

Show all headers | View raw

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit 63d55b2aeb5e4faa170316fee73c3c47ea9268c7 ]

process_chn_event(), running in the tasklet, can race with
vmbus_close_internal() in the case of SMP guest, e.g., when the former is
accessing channel->inbound.ring_buffer, the latter could be freeing the
ring_buffer pages.

To resolve the race, we can serialize them by disabling the tasklet when
the latter is running here.
